Personally i love 'It's a wonderful life', always a christmas favorite. one of my favourite films af all time to boot. of course the obligatory die hard/superman etc. movies are now a staple part of any christmas movie diet.

I rented Elf last night (for the 4th time)

But my favourite xmas movie has to be The Santa Claus (the Tim Allen version) - its much better than that one made in the 70's or 80's!

The Die Hard films are ****. You watch them once, and once only. That gay annoying tone of bruce willis`s voice is so stoopidly "put-on" sounding.

Indianna jones beat them any day.
ANd the Robin hood cartoon yoke thats an hr long is class. Anyone know the name of that. Was on a few different christmas`s.

Actually, cinematically, the first Die Hard is an example of the perfect film on paper.

The story line, the progression, each of the characters roles and the imagery in the film are all perfect. They all follow the old spagetti westerns, which are refered to throughout the film...

I'm not going to type it all.

For me, the winner is "It's a Wonderful Life."

I know it's clichéd but for me it is the ultimate Xmas movie.

I also love National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

The Santa Clause is a great film - have watched it over and over

The 1st Home Alone is a classic - I like the one in New York too but its not half as good as the 1st one!
